GLEE's Murphy on Groff: "I'm sure we'll have him back"

According to GLEE creator Ryan Murphy, Jonathan Groff may be returning to GLEE next season. Groff had appeared on the show as the character "Jesse ST. James," playing the love interest of Lea Michele's character "Rachel Berry."

Ryan tells eonline: "I love his character. We loved [Jonathan]. He and Lea Michele have such great chemistry. I'm sure we'll have him back."

"Maybe he doesn't do so well in college and comes back to get his glory. We're writing the script right now!"

Recent winner of the People's Choice Award for Best New Comedy and Golden Globe winner for Best Television Series Comedy or Musical, GLEE, the new musical comedy series, follows an optimistic teacher who - against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach - attempts to save McKinley High's Glee Club from obscurity while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential.

The show, which also garnered Golden Globe recognition, stars Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Jessalyn Gilsig, Jane Lynch, Jayma Mays, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Matthew Morrison, Amber Riley, Mark Salling and Jenna Ushkowitz.

GLEE is produced by Ryan Murphy Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan are co-creators of the series. Murphy, Falchuk and Dante di Loreto serve as executive producers, while Ian Brennan serves as co-executive producer.

GLEE airs on Fox Tuesdays at 9:00pm.
